Wednesday - the thaw gathers pace...

I suppose it was inevitable that once I decided to do this blog that the daily sorties would become uneventful!

Anyway, on a trip round and through the West Midlands, not only were al the overhead signs blank again but the Coventry Canal and the Birmingham & Fazeley canals appeared ice free everywhere I saw them - at Polesworth, Tamworth & Tyburn. On the other hand, our own Erewash Canal was still solid in the lower reaches - only clearing today! That's the first time since November 2010.
